3th March, 2025: Piliers arrive Drilling rig ascends the Church Path (the tipper truck gives a helping hand!) and begins drilling 5.5 metres beside the church – 2 metres before the chalk bedrock is reached! x 2 piles. Cardboard tube liners filled with concrete. 

 5th March: ground prepared for the concrete beam. Old drains removed – broken and blocked. Below appeared to be a brick soakaway. Existing clay pipe laid on a path of bricks! The ground was very wet and some slow worms, a newt and a toad where released! A repair had been undertaken to the side of the North Aisle with a mixture of flints, chalk and broken bricks set in a very strong mortar to the depth of 50 CMS / ½ a metre. 

 6th March: installation of the concrete beam under the corner of the church. Acro props where installed under the North Aisle west corner. The church is resting on solid chalk. A cage of metal was constructed and treaded through the arco props on to a corrugated cardboard platform covered with polythene shuttered with corriflute. The trench beside was backfilled. Finally concrete was poured in and tampered. 

 7th March: Clearing up and laying new plastic drains. Without a tipper truck, drilling machine and a digger this job would have taken a great deal of time and energy especially ascending the Church Path. The workmen mentioned how well they had slept with all the walking up and down!
